re: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2013h.html#76 DataPower XML Appliance and RACF http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2013h.html#78 IBM commitment to academia http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2013i.html#2 IBM commitment to academia http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2013i.html#4 IBM commitment to academia during the Future System period ... 370 (hardware & software) development was being killed off (and lack of new products is credited with giving clone processors market foothold). with death of FS ... there was mad rush to get products back into the 370 pipeline ... misc. past posts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submain.html#futuresys part of that was 303x in parallel with 3081 & 370/xa. The head of POK also managed to convince corporate to kill off the vm370 product, shutdown the burlington mall development group and move all the people to POK ... or otherwise he wouldn't be able to meet the mvs/xa ship schedule. the burlington mall group wasn't going to be told until the very last moment in order to minimize people being able to escape ... however it leaked a few months early ... and quite a few people were able to escape the move to POK ... quite a few going to DEC to work on vax/vms (this was in the very early days of starting vax/vms development) ... resulting in the head of POK being considered one of the biggest contributors to vax/vms. endicott eventually managed to save the vm370 product mission ... but had to reconsitute a development group from scratch ... the resulting learning curve resulted in quite a few comments on VMSHARE during the period. http://vm.mairist.edu/~vmshare/ there was also quite a bit of enhancements to vm370 lost in the burlington mall shutdown ... including a major expansion of MVS emulation in cms. -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
